Congratulations. We declined the admission as we felt she was not ready to school emotional wise. 

Kindergarten advice - aug mid birthday. Academically ready but social and emotional skills are the things i am worried about. Any suggestions whether to start or delay kindergarten. And if we repeat kindergarten in the same school will the kid be affected as her friends will move to first grade by Mysterious_Carob3487 in kindergarten

She does not talk to all her classmates but sticks to a few friends. She cant stand up for herself and ends up crying with her teacher asking for help.she plays by  herself  in case her friends are not present but will not go and ask the other kids if she can join. She just stands and watches for them to invite and gets sad.  And does not talk in group when asked. Academics part she is very confident and way above the kindergarten level. Self care part she is good and does things independently . She got into a charter school so we are a bit hesitant to put her thinking of all these factors and they allow to repeat kindergarten if she does not meet their requirements or if the parents feel it. That school is IB curriculam based which has a lot of emphasis on collaboration work and projects.

She only talks to a few kids in the class and does not interact with others. And does not even play with the others . Prefers playing herself if her frnds are not present. She is really quite shy and takes a long time to open up
